22/04/2026 | 13:41:05 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2) I would like to warmly congratulate our esteemed colleague Ms Zita GURMAI for her excellent and well-focused report, but also for her long-standing commitment as a dedicated defender of human rights -a true beacon of equality, both in Hungary and across Europe. This report captures a reality that persists throughout our continent. Beyond national differences, and despite the progress achieved in countries such as Spain, the problem remains... 26/01/2026 | 18:03:09 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2)   International Courts constitute a fundamental part of International Law and the rules-based international order that we are here to defend. And as such, International Law is not optional. It is not like a supermaker. You cannot select what you like from one shelf and ignore the others. Equally, you cannot choose which judgments we like or not, solely based on political beliefs, geopolitical alliances and ideological prejudice. This is the... 02/10/2025 | 12:37:50 Thank you. Thank you, Mister Chairman. Gaza is being razed to the ground. Palestinians are being forcibly displaced. Civilians and even children are dying under bombardments and famine.

Youth movements are inextricably linked with the history of Europe. I come from a country where young people have always been at the forefront of movements for democracy. Since students stood up against a dictatorial regime in 1973, the history of my country -as many other countries in Europe- has much to say about young people who refuse to remain silent in the face of injustice. All over Europe, young people organize... 26/06/2025 | 13:22:24 (Undelivered speech, Rules of Procedure Art. 31.2)   It is often necessary to start with the basics – which, however, are never to be taken for granted: migration is a human behaviour, a constant phenomenon throughout world history. People who migrate often try to escape war, poverty, persecution, or even the climate crisis. There is nothing illegal about the human need for protection. That is why it is incorrect to speak of “illegal migration” – we should rather speak of “irregular entry...
